This class will help build skills and help students develop comfort with painting in acrylics. Students will gain experience painting from observation as well as from image reference, helping build confidence to comfortably navigate creating expressive imagery. By creating one painting per class in addition to helpful exercises, students will develop comfort with beginning and executing paintings that may be further developed if they wish. While this class will provide structure and guidance in skills and techniques, students will go away with further insight and confidence in experimenting with the various ways they may engage with painting in acrylics. There is never one “correct” method!

Alexandra Schnabel is a painter and art instructor who lives and works in Bucks County PA. Alexandra discovered her passion for painting at the Lehigh Valley Charter School for the Arts, and went on to earn her BFA from Pennsylvania Academy of The Fine Arts. She now enjoys creating artwork that explores the wonder of the visual world, while nurturing her passion for teaching through a variety of classes and workshops. In her studio, she explores diverse subject matter through a balance of skilled and intuitive approach, with themes that ponder the self and relationship with how we engage with the world around us. Her paintings have been shown at venues such as Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, The Allentown Art Museum, The Kimmel Center, and Phillips Mill Community Association founded by Daniel Garber. She teaches a variety of community based classes locally as well as private lessons and creativity mentorship programs out of her home studio.
